Dear God,
I send you this e-mail, eternity mail
Trying to connect with you,
The form familiar to me.
I am hungry to know You.
I am frightened to know You.
I am frightened not to know You.
I am constricted, isolating.
I am jealous of expansiveness, excitement.
I am fearful of safe numbness, controlled routine.
I want the life of the disciples.
I want to walk with You.
I want to do what You want me to do.
I want to glorify you and enjoy you forever.
I confess:
Staying in the safe
Avoiding intimacy
Thwarting the Spirit.
You did not create your children to be numb,
To settle, just get along, make it through the day.
You created your children to share with them your love.
You have plans for good that include them.
You want to give them joy.
Thank you for pricking my heart to seek You.
Thank you for gracefully preventing my settling for the superficial.
I love You.
I give you my failures, my stubbornness.
I celebrate your many salvations. Please let me live constantly with You.Help me hover above the earth and see clearly.

I love this idea of emailing God... It seems like its so easy to type up and send an email to anyone about anything and yet, it seems so hard sometimes to pray to God. You remind me that it should be this easy. Thank you!
